Q38. Case-Study 3
In mathematics modular arithmetic is a system of arithmetic for integers where numbers ”wrap around” when reaching
a certain value called modulus . A familiar use of modular arithmetic is in the 12 hour clock in which the day is divided
into two 12 hour periods. If the time is 7:00 now, then 8 hours later it will be 3:00. Simple addition would result in
7+8=15, but clocks “wrap around” every 12 hours. Because the hour number starts over after it reaches 12, this is
arithmetic modulo 12. In terms of the definition,15 is congruent to 3 modulo 12. So 15:00 on a 24 hour clock is displayed
3:00 on a 12 hour clock. Based on the above information answer the following questions
(a) Evaluate 36 (mod4)
(b) What is the least positive of x for which 100 ≡ 𝑥 (𝑚𝑜𝑑7)
(c) Evaluate (137+995) mod 12
OR
Find the last digit of 1212
